This is Texas & This is the Way to the Moon

first published in 1967, M. Sasek rides high in the saddle, lassoing all the color and colossal span of Texas as he tours the state from Dallas, Houston, and Austin to the Alamo. From its cattle, coyotes, and cowboys to its oil wells, rodeo and rattlesnakes, everything in the biggest state is bigger than anywhere else.

This is the Way to the Moon:

first published in 1963, Sasek rockets readers to Cape Canaveral, the space capital of the world, a science-fiction-turned-fact spot on the Florida coast with a nostalgic look at the electronic brains that put our man up into space and brought him down again. Also included are the updated statistics about the lunar landing and a mini history of NASA's space program.
